Q: Is this iPhotos also for Photos ?

Is this iPhotos also for Photos ?

 

If so, I would like to know what is transferred from Aperture to Photos from a RAW photo?

 

Is it the raw file  or a jpeg version?

    YOUr question is not very clear, but I'll have a god.

     

    iPhoto is no longer developed. A new app, Photos, has been released. It is similar is many respects but has a whole extra feature called the iCloud Library.

     

    Nothing is transferred "from a raw photo". Your raw and versions are migrated to the Photos library. But be aware that Photos is not a replacement for Aperture.

    Sorry, I was asking, not very well, if this forum discussion was the right place for the new Photos, as it says iPhoto.

    if not, where can I find the forum for "Photos".

     

    Thanks for the RAW info.

     

    I have purchased Capture one pro 8 to replace Aperture.
    There are more features BUT the learning curve  is tough and there are several different labels for the adjustments.

     

    As to the iCloud, I tried that but it said that there was not enough space for my photo library.I have 2 B/U's so I am not concerned unless it effects the RAW storage and transfer.

     

    Thanks

    Greg, the forum for the new Photos.app is here:   Photos for Mac

    It is grouped below Mac OS & System Software, because it is not a stand-alone aplication, but directly installed as part of MacOS X Yosemite or El Capitan.

    See this support document on how Photos will transfer content from an Aperture library:  How Photos handles content and metadata from iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support

     

    If you open an Aperture library in Photos, the Photos.app will create a new library and store the RAW images as original image files, just like Aperture does. Referenced originals will remain referenced, managed originals will remain managed. Alle dits will be applied losslesjust like in  Aperture, so you can always revert the the original RAW file. If you used brushed adjustments or other adjustments, that cannot be  reproduced in Photos, edited versions will be migrated as a new quasi-master in addition to the original file.

    Hi:

     

    Thanks for the info:
    When you say quasi-master, does that mean that any and all adjustments made in Aperture that are not available in Photos will be removed ?
    i.e. retouch, dodge burn etc .

    You will see two photos in Photos: One photo with all adjustments applied by Aperture, and the original image file.  If you want to edit the Aperture edited version further in Photos, you have first to revert it to original, because Photos cannot add to brushed Aperture adjustments.
